The Lightning Falls With The Rain Poem by Gert Strydom

The lightning falls with the rain
with a thundering sound
and something of its essence does remain
within the ground

and there is life within every living thing
while new buds does appear in spring
and from early morning the sun does glow
when the Lord does His goodwill bestow

and yet my love you are away from me
while I do experience nature's bountiful beauty

and in my heart there is a kind of pain
while I do not know where my life is going
but still the tokens of our love is all around
while nights and days does into each other flow.
